Experts weigh in on TikTok trend claiming specific sounds can summon cats

A TikTok trend claims that the sound "mah-AH" can effectively summon cats. Experts have mixed views, noting that while some cats respond to this sound, it may depend on individual temperament and prior conditioning. Veterinarians suggest that cats are more likely to respond to tone, body language, and positive reinforcement, such as treats. Other sounds, like a kitten's meow, may also attract cats' attention. Training cats to come when called can be achieved with consistent cues and rewards. While "mah-AH" might work occasionally, using familiar sounds and positive interactions is generally more effective.
